Three busy years hence, Bonnie and the Son of Clyde are Public Enemies Nos. 1 and 2, suspected of murder, mayhem, arson and fraud in a spooky, dark-hearted, cross-country jag stretching from Hawaii to the Bahamas...

The program requires each word to be spoken individually, and it takes several frustrating hours to dictate a single page. A much better program exists (Dragon NaturallySpeaking), is inexpensive ($170 for the multiple-user edition) and allows one to write papers at roughly the same speed as one would type them. The program should also be available for use in all House computer labs--accessible to anyone in pain, not just those who have filed paperwork...
